The measurement results show that the Syn-Omni path losses are smaller than the Max-Dir losses, but the Syn-Omni delay spreads are greater. The NLoS losses do not seem to be considerably different from the LoS losses, especially for the Syn-Omni case. Additionally, the empirical CDFs of the delay spread appear to follow a lognormal distribution.","PeriodicalId":383636,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (USNC-URSI)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123017830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
